HOW DO I KNOW GOD IS REAL? | CAN I ASK THAT (WEEK 3)

What do you do when God asks you to believe something you cannot verify on your own terms? In this powerful message, *Evangelist Temeka Stanley* walks through the story of Thomas in *John 20:24–31* and confronts one of the most honest questions a person can ask: *“How do I know God is real?”* Thomas is often remembered as “Doubting Thomas,” but Scripture reveals something deeper—a courageous, loyal, analytical disciple who refused to pretend he understood when he didn’t. His story reminds us that *honest questions are not the enemy of faith.* Jesus did not shame Thomas for his questions. He met him where he was, addressed his objections, presented the evidence—and then called him to believe. This message explores the difference between **asking God questions and questioning God**, the tension between faith and our desire for control, and why biblical faith does not require us to stop thinking or investigating. Thomas wanted evidence. Jesus gave him an encounter. And Thomas’s search ultimately led him to one of the most powerful declarations in Scripture: *“My Lord and my God!” — John 20:28* The question may begin with, *“How do I know God is real?”* But once the evidence brings us to Jesus, the question becomes personal: *If He is real, what will I do with Him?* ▶️ Watch the full message and share it with someone who is wrestling with questions about God, faith, doubt, or the identity of Jesus Christ. *KINGDOM EDGE CHURCH* Fort Wayne, Indiana Sunday Worship | 10:30 AM *Scripture:* John 20:24–31 *Message:* How Do I Know God Is Real? *Speaker:* Evangelist Temeka Stanley #HowDoIKnowGodIsReal #TemekaStanley #KingdomEdgeChurch #JesusChrist #Faith #Doubt #DoubtingThomas #John20 #ChristianApologetics #ChristianSermon #FaithAndDoubt #Resurrection #Gospel #JesusIsLord #FortWayneChurch
